"Primary point of contact: Christine Lassiter There are no words to express how stressful purchasing a home can be but everyone in Debbie's group was wonderful. Christine Lassiter was amazing and I am thankful for her prompt responses, knowledge and willingness to help. She made several referrals that were also right on target. I would  highly recommend them to anyone searching for their future home! We are extremely happy in our new home! Thanks a million to all who made our home purchase possible. You all not only so professional but so caring. Keep up the great work!"

"Selling a house is the most stressful experience, many things happened to add more obstacles. I had a lot of work to do, besides working long hours, so I relied heavily on Debbie to take the lead in many aspects of the preparation and sale. She was very responsive and creatively helped to address each of the challenges from beginning to end of the process. She is well connected with a family of service providers that we could choose or not. I chose to use all of them and to follow Debbie's advice as much as possible, thinking it would help the process go smoother, and it absolutely did... The project came together very quickly. Our house was on the market less than a week and sold for more than the asking price. Then she helped us to buy our next house, with good insight and skillful negotiation. I would not want to sell a house without Debbie. Her years of experience really shows. She is also truly a good person and I appreciate her integrity."

"THIS IS A TEAM OF ALL-STARS! We first met with Christine Lassiter to get a feeling for the market. We did not plan on selling until later in the summer. But with the guidance of Christine and Debbie, we decided to take advantage of the current market. They gave us a to-do list which we got started on right away using their list of recommended vendors for touching up and fixing where needed. We also followed their advice to stage the house and were amazed at what their stagers, Rod and John, did using what we had supplemented with items from their own bag of tricks. The house looked amazing and sold before even officially hitting the market for substantially over asking. We were very happy. You can't go wrong with this team!"
